Problem

In the Science Museum in London, there is a 22.45-m-long pendulum (known as Foucault's pendulum). It swings, without stopping, in one of the stairwells. (1) i** Calculate the time period of the pendulum. (Take g=9.81 Nkg−1g = 9.81 \text{ Nkg}^{-1} ) (2) ii** If the pendulum were to be taken to the surface of the moon, where the value of gravitational field strength is 16\frac{1}{6} of that of the Earth, what would its time period be?
